I've been following this thread for awhile and have posted a few times. My order (~6 am 9/9, 256GB 7 Plus, black, AT&T, IUP) is still processing. I figure that I can't complain, since the soonest my order was promised for delivery was Oct. 4, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to expect it to change to PFS status around the end of next week at the earliest. I'll probably look at local availability periodically, though I don't think the one store here is getting many iPhones.
Anyway, checking this thread multiple times a day isn't really getting me anywhere, so I'm outta here for now. I'm sincerely happy that many of you are getting your iPhone sooner than expected!
